Girl Takes Selfie Everyday For 6.5 Years While Battling Depression And Anxiety

Rebecca Brown is a 21 years old filmmaker, artist and a Youtuber (100,000 subscribers and millions of views) from England. From the ages of 14 to 21, Brown took a photo of herself (almost) every single day. She’s now compiled the photographs and created a video montage for her YouTube channel.

Aside from showing mesmerizing physical changes, the video tells a touching and interesting story of a teen suffering from disorders and depression. Rebecca was diagnosed with an impulse control disorder called trichotillomania that caused her to pull her hair out of her head when she was feeling anxious.


She leaves a message about beauty in the comments section of her video:


Beauty is more than what we see with the eyes. People are more than their conditions. I am more than my hair and skin. This only shows my exterior, I hope that people will check out my videos to see more of the girl inside.


Her transformation is truly fascinating.
